Spanish Translation Foreword/Prefacio for “Heaven is Real”

Pastor Hector Santos has completed the Spanish translation of our book.  Furthermore, he has written his own "Prefacio," his introduction to the book, which we are blessed to post here, in English.

Foreword/Prefacio 

I’ll never forget the way I was drawn to the story of Ron Pettey, broadcast internationally on Sid Roth’s weekly TV program called “It’s Supernatural.”  Awestruck with the power of Ron’s true-life testimony, I learned he had actually died during a medical procedure, gone to heaven and then returned to share his experiences with us! Moments later, I heard myself saying, “The Hispanic community needs to hear this story!” and I knew what I had to do.

Healed of Rheumatoid Arthritis!

As a young child, I became acutely aware that rheumatoid arthritis ran in my family history. I also distinctly remember, around the age of six, hearing a voice in my head (obviously, not the voice of a friend) saying, "One day, little girl, you TOO will have this disease and there’s nothing you can do about it!"  My dad’s mother had a severe case of RA. I’ll never forget the sight of her gnarled, almost claw-like hands, horribly deformed and crippled from the ravages of this merciless disease. Because of the pain in most of her  joints, she had to use a cane to walk and every second of her day was dominated by terrible discomfort.  

God’s Marvelous Love and Care

My story begins in May 2003, when my wonderful daughter, Nila, (who’d just been given a new assignment as the Christian radio station underwriter) invited me to accompany her to Kansas for a training workshop. 
I was delighted to go with her on the week-long trip, especially since we planned to break the drive into two days and enjoy a much-needed "girls’" vacation.  But half-way through the first day’s journey, I began to feel an uncomfortable stiffness in my joints and entire body.  At first, I assumed the culprit was merely having to ride in the van for so many hours.  Yet, the next day, I awoke in real pain. In fact, I could barely get in and out of the van.
